Yan Qi looked at Lu Yuan's proud face with his nostrils turned upward, and smiled: "With the Eight Kings as a big backer, everything will be worry-free."
Lu Yuan stared at Yan Qi like a fighting cock: "That's natural, I'm so confident."
Yan Qi laughed: "It's super confident, but I don't know if the Eight Kings have the same confidence."
Lu Yuan held his head high and held his chest high: "Of course, the eight kings are the sky, and the eight kings are the earth. With the eight kings, I can stand upright against the sky and the earth..."
"enough."
The Eighth Prince couldn't stand Lu Yuan's flattery anymore. He roared angrily and stood up with a cold face, "Don't say a few words, get ready to go to court."
After taking a step, he suddenly came back, pointed at Lu Yuan blankly and said, "Shut your stinky mouth."
"Huh? This..."
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
"Eighth King...what's going on?"
Lu Yuan looked at the back of the eight kings who were walking away angrily, feeling completely numb and at a loss.
In my heart, I felt a deep uneasiness.
Eunuch Deping came in: "My lords, come to court!"
The ministers prepared to go to court.
But Lu Yuan felt uneasy and suddenly didn't hear it.
Yan Qi patted Lu Yuan's shoulder gently.
"ah!"
Lu Yuan was so frightened that he jumped away. When he turned around, he saw that it was Yan Qi: "What are you doing? Yan Qi, don't touch me. Don't touch me."
Yan Qi chuckled: "I called the court with good intentions, what are you afraid of? Eh? What's wrong? The confidence you had just now is gone? Are you afraid of me?"
Lu Yuan said bravely: "Am I afraid? I am protected by the Eight Kings, and I am not afraid of the King of Heaven."
"Hahahaha, let's meet in the court then."
Yan Qi laughed and left gracefully.
Lu Yuan was sweating profusely and felt anxious.
Lu Yuan didn't expect that today's flattery of the Eight Kings would end up on the horse's hooves.
This abnormal rhythm made him panic.
Tang Jide, the governor of Henan, and Shan Yuan, the governor of Hebei, gathered around them, unable to hide the look of horror in their eyes.
Tang Jide was very worried: "Lord Lu Yuan, there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere. In the past, the Eighth Prince liked our flattery. Why is it that today, the Eighth Prince's attitude is so low?"
Shan Yuan, the governor of Hebei, kept rubbing his hands nervously: "Yes, the Eighth Prince did not dare to look at Yan Qi today. It seems that he is very afraid... very afraid of Yan Qi."
When Lu Yuan heard this, he was so frightened that he almost cried: "No way? The Eight Kings have said that when we enter Beijing, he will protect us. Even if we are impeached by Yan Qi, there is no need to be afraid. Could it be that the situation has changed now? ?
"
The three of them were distraught and frightened.
However, there is no other way but to bite the bullet and go to court.
…
Above the court.
Solemn and solemn.
The old emperor's eyes passed over the thirteen governors, and he smiled sadly: "I don't know many of you, sir, and I have never met them. I guess they were all promoted by the Eight Kings, right?"
When the Eight Kings heard this, their hearts trembled.
The old emperor clearly meant what he said and hurriedly came out.
"Brother Emperor, Lu Yuan, the governor of Shanxi, Tang Jide, the governor of Henan, and Shan Yuan, the governor of Hebei, are smart and capable. I asked the emperor for instructions, and the emperor also handled special matters and promoted them quickly."
"Oh I got it."
The old emperor laughed at himself: "I can rest assured that my brother is doing things."
The Eight Kings were frightened and winked at Lu Yuan and the others: "We haven't paid your respects to the Emperor yet."
Lu Yuan, Tang Jide, and Shan Yuan hurriedly came out to introduce the old emperor.
Lu Yuandao: "Your Majesty, I am from..."
"OK OK."
Yan Qi stood up and interrupted Lu Yuan: "We don't need to introduce you. We will report your information to the emperor in detail later."
Lu Yuan was furious: "Yan Qi, I am reporting to the emperor, why do I need to point fingers?"
He knelt down and worshiped the old emperor again: "Your Majesty, Yan Qi is rude and immoral. He arbitrarily interrupted my report to you, which is really disrespectful to you. Please give Yan Qi serious punishment."
"hehe!"
The old emperor's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Yuan curiously.
I thought: This guy is really new here and doesn’t know anything about the market.
Don’t you know that Yan Qi is my old friend?
The old emperor waved his hand: "Is it necessary to punish some trivial matters? Moreover, I think what Yan Aiqing said is absolutely true. In the court, important state affairs should be discussed. As for the detailed information, after going down to the court, Yan Aiqing Aiqing will naturally give it to me, so there is no need to report it."
"Ah, this..."
Lu Yuan looked sideways at Yan Qi, feeling extremely frightened deep in his heart.
He suddenly felt something bad.
He had never thought that the relationship between Yan Qi and the emperor was so strong.
The situation... I'm afraid it will change.
Before entering Beijing, Lu Yuan's positioning of the imperial court was still a few months ago.
Above the court, the eight kings said the same thing.
But unexpectedly, Yan Qi appeared now and said the same thing.
Even the emperor loved Yan Qi very much.
One bite, one love
Sir.
Too gross.
Lu Yuan, the governor of Shanxi, Tang Jide, the governor of Henan, and Shan Yuan, the governor of Hebei, looked at each other with panic in their eyes.
Suddenly, they feel like they are the frog in the well.
Away from the court, I don't know that the court has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The old emperor actually really wanted to hear the detailed information about Lu Yuan and the others. After all, he was a governor, so he had to be highly capable, loyal to Dahua, and loyal to himself.
However, Yan Qi interrupted Lu Yuan's report, and the old emperor did not find it offensive.
He understood that Yan Qi's actions must have deep meaning.
The old emperor said: "My dear friends, do you have a memorial? If there is no memorial, I will discuss economic and defense issues with the governors of the thirteen northern provinces..."
Yan Qi came out: "I have my roots."
The old emperor's eyes lit up.
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "It's broken, it's broken, Yan Qi is really going to start looking for trouble."
The muscles on Baou's face were cramped.
The old emperor asked Yan Qi: "What's the matter?"
Yan Qi presented the memorial to Eunuch Deping, pointed at Lu Yuan, and said impassionedly: "A few days ago, the Yu Shijian and the Ministry of Household Affairs went deep into the enemy's territory to conduct a large-scale inspection and found out a lot of tricks."
"After verification, it was confirmed that Shanxi Governor Lu Yuan had 17 lives on his hands, misappropriated 7.24 million taels of public funds, and used his power to place cronies in government offices at all levels in Shanxi, a total of 245 people."
There is a detailed list of all the charges, and the evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt. Please ask your Majesty for your clear judgment. "
"What?"
When the old emperor heard this, he frowned and stared at Lu Yuan with evil eyes: "Is this happening?"
Lu Yuan jumped up in fright: "How can this happen? I am an upright official. Your Majesty, it was Yan Qi who falsely accused me. He falsely accused me. Your Majesty has a clear conscience. Your Majesty has a clear conscience."
Yan Qi stated calmly: "Lu Yuan's crime was extremely heinous. The seventeen people he directly killed were ordinary people, businessmen, and officials. They were either people whom Lu Yuan hated, people who blocked Lu Yuan's financial path, or people who blocked him. People who get promoted.”
"The 7.24 million taels of silver misappropriated were all disaster relief funds. The main reason for Shanxi's disaster relief efforts was insufficient money, and all the disaster relief funds were withheld by Lu Yuan."
"The 245 cronies Lu Yuan placed in Shanxi are all key departments such as Tongzhi, magistrate, tongpan, shuling, county magistrate, county magistrate, salt road, grain road and so on. Lu Yuan controlled these departments, You can become a local emperor in Shanxi and cover the sky with one hand."
After hearing Yan Qi's words, the old emperor felt a chill run down his spine.
These moths.
hateful!
